My third-grade students learn in a Title I school near a military base. Many of our students have experienced some type of family transition (single parent home, blended family, divorce/separation, low income, etc). The majority of my class deals with other personal issues including ADHD and anxiety. The majority of my school receives a free or reduced-price lunch. The students at my school are all hard workers. They come to school every day, ready to learn.
My third-grade students are a very active bunch and are capable of doing amazing things this year.
My students set goals for themselves and they achieve them. They are smart, kind, and caring. They work hard as individuals and come together as a team.
My students are eager to learn and love whole group activities that allow them to listen to stories, cooperate with peers, and attend technology lessons. Our community has a high population of military families. We have a supportive community and administration, however, there are fewer funds for classroom resources.
My Project
Our class is requesting a camera and film to document our daily activities. Students will be able to photograph their surroundings and use story telling in the classroom with the photos that they take. At the end of the year, the students would also love to make a memory book. My goal is for each child to be able to take home a book so that they can remember their third grade year. Many children in my classroom can't afford a yearbook, so providing them with their own memory book is the next best thing! In order to do this, we need a Fujifilm Instax Mini camera to take photos with! We also need packs of film to do this! Thank you for supporting our classroom!
